Finances Made Simple

When you come across financial blogs, do they lose you with lofty references to the stock market and flowery discussions about the bottom line you really don’t understand? If you are a regular Joe or Jane just looking for some solid advice about your everyday money issues, you can find it at The Simple Dollar.

The Simple Dollar is geared toward people who need both sense and cents because they are fighting debt and poor spending habits while trying to build financial freedom and still enjoy life a little along the way. Not designed for people looking to analyze various subtle nuances of the stock market or how multiple mutual fund compare, The Simple Dollar offers common sense advice about money management and practical ways to save a little cash on the side.

The creator of The Simple Dollar is Trent Hamm, a young man who experienced his own financial meltdown and found his way out. When he emerged from financial despair, he decided to share his experiences through The Simple Dollar blog so he could help others going through the same struggles.

I appreciate the solid advice offered by Trent that actually applies to my life. With blog entries that compare Quicken to using spreadsheets, discuss basic financial management and convey ways to settle in with your new baby financially, The Simple Dollar offers real life money advice for real people who really want help with their finances.
